| - I didn't think I would be able to enjoy myself at The Diamond considering it's right in the heart of the hispter hub in Charlotte but I went, I ate and I will go back. Overlooking just a couple things that I will get to later, I'll say the food was dynamite!
My only woes were the cornbread, the mac and cheese which was more mac than cheese and the noise but then again, hipster head quarters is right down the street. Our waiters shirt was about 4 sizes to small and I'd say facial hair is faux pa because they could easily fall into the food. The mac and cheese needs serious improvement as the noodles with sticky and the cheese was was, well, where was the cheese? Not much in it at all. Someone needs to get this place a corn bread recipe or learn to store cornbread so it stays soft.
The Meatless Loaf with Mashed Potatoes was knee buckling and the creamed squash was absolutely heavenly, which was unexpected.Once again, My guy had the Veggie Black Bean Burger and it was huge, tasty and very satisfying. The flavor was unbelievable and the price, very acceptable and the warm, soft bun was appreciated. Most places the bun is cold and stiff. One con only was there was no pickle on the side and that's a diner must have! I can not stress how much I was impressed by the Meatless Loaf though. The portions for the price with down right generous and I could not finish my plate and I wanted to and had to force myself to stop eating! 5 dollar pitchers of Shock Top was completely acceptable too.
